Kaylee Ann Messerly
A Craig woman requested a preliminary hearing in a case charging her with two counts of felony child abuse and waved her right to a 35-day limit Wednesday afternoon in Moffat County District Court.
Kaylee Ann Messerly, 36, previously requested a preliminary hearing during her April 15 arraignment hearing, stating at the time she would be representing herself. Wednesday, Attorney Frank Moya appeared virtually representing Messerly, joining her in requesting a preliminary hearing and waving her right to a 35-day limit on a hearing.
In addition to her request for a preliminary hearing, Messerly also requested that the courtroom be closed to the media, citing her 13-year-old son following the case through the news.
